Thanks to you both. I've always assumed it would be a PITA to use a cloud service for that much personal data, but I guess it's really not anymore. I just uploaded about 100gb to OneDrive and it didn't take as long as I thought.


i have about 100 hours of video that i'm going to upload to google photos in the next few days when it arrives so i'll let you know the total size and how long it took to push to the cloud.

good timing w/ the comcast data cap bullshite turned off for the moment. its been nice grabbing entire collections of movies (james bond) and tv series without killing my data cap on a single download.

the james bond collection was 1TB so one click and i would have killed my data for the entire month.

I started doing youtube videos of our bee work. It's nice to have the videos to go through when you go back into a bee yard and can't remember how each hive was 30 days ago. So I want to keep all my footage.

Also of course trying to make a channel mostly because I wanted to learn how to edit videos and make them interesting. (or so I think interesting). Most of the footage doesn't make it into the videos. So what I started doing is combining all my clips into 1 video at 720p (good enough to watch for archive purposes) and upload it to my channel and just keep it private.

I know I'm putting a LOT in the hands of the youtube gods and should be paying for cloud storage, but atm, it's working for what I need it for. I know google is evil, but it's an easy to use best chance of being around forever evil.
